Abstract: For the transportation and/or storage of waste material, in particular domestic refuse, in closed containers, it is proposed, during the transportation and/or storage period, to scavenge, at least at times, the volume of refuse material enclosed in one container in each case by means of an inert, low-oxygen gas. By replacing the air still contained in the interspaces and pores of the volume of refuse material by the inert gas, aerobic conversion processes are suppressed and, at the same time, moisture is channelled away, thus avoiding the gas development which can otherwise be observed in the case of aerobic conversion of waste materials.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for forming a synthesized optical image with all of the desired objects in focus. A prescribed number of optical images of the same scene are provided by recording an optical image at a respective focal distance and changing the focal distance for each additional optical image as recorded. The optical images are subjected to wavelet transformation to form a multi-resolution representation. The coefficients of the various multi-resolution representations are compared at the same position to detect the maximum spectral amplitudes. Based on the detected maximum spectral amplitudes, another multi-resolution representation is obtained. Then, an inverse wavelet transformation is performed to obtain the synthesized optical image.

Abstract: According to the present invention, faulty isolated bits in the cache memory are made inaccessible to the microprocessor by rendering an appropriate line of data in the cache memory uncacheable to the microprocessor. When faulty data bits are not repairable through conventional repair means such as row/column redundancy, the tag RAM may be programmed with the address of the faulty data bit such that when the microprocessor requests data at that address, a comparator inside the tag RAM generates a signal indicative of a "miss" condition which is an output signal of the tag RAM. The miss condition is communicated to the microprocessor which must access the requested data from main memory. In this way, a cache memory having faulty data bits may still be utilized.

Abstract: Adjacent touch-sensitive modules (10) together define a row of modifiable Braille cells (11), opposite a row of microswitches (50) and a row of caps (30). The latter each define a pivoting tab (32) controlling the corresponding microswitch, this tab being linked by a hinge (36) thinning out to a fixed part (31) carrying a region for displaying fixed information in Braille (40). At the free end of each tab (32), a curved-over hook part (35) forms a travel limiter with the underside of the associated microswitch (50). On the reverse of each tab (32), a cylindrical transverse projection provides an on-line contact with the microswitch (50). Considered transversely, the series of pivoting tabs (32) exhibits a sinusoidal profile, which makes it possible selectively to actuate a single tab with a large finger. And each tab (32) is fitted with a longitudinal guide groove, for guiding the finger. <IMAGE>
